Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is 270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270
